Best Buy’s PS3 midnight launch list

For you PS3 fans out there out there getting ready to once again to brave the elements, traffic jams, and fellows fans alike to get a chance at your very own unit, we’ve picked up some hot news.

While browsing the net, we came across some seriously juicy info on the addresses of the select Best Buy stores that will be holding a midnight launch for the PS3 come November 17. There’s 18 stores in total.

Consider this an early warning, so if you don’t live anywhere near these areas, now’s a good time to start prepping some gas money for your PS3 hunt/roadtrip.

On a side note, it doesn’t look like Best Buy‘s planning to hold a midnight launch for the Wii, and will instead just open up their stores an hour early (8 a.m.), on November 19.

Hmm, either they’re not expecting that big a crowd (read: mob) for the Wii, or the PS3’s initial launch numbers will be drawing in even more rabid reactions – maybe both? In any case, here’s the list, and given just how bad it got during the pre-order season, expect this to top the previous camp-outs we’ve seen before. Good luck to all of you.

Park Lane, TX; West LA, CA; Chesterfield, MO; El Cajon; Superstition Springs, AZ; Chapel Hill, OH; Richfield, MN; Galleria, TX; Butterfield RD, I; Wester Hollywood, CA; Ann Arbor, MI; Gwinnet, GA; Hialeah, FL; South Tampa, FL; Mt Laurel, NJ; Manhattan; NoHo, NY; Landmark, MA; and Manhattan Midtown, NY.
